Like, the time you looked at every single discount and low-priced (or heck, sanely-priced) furniture store for a new couch and finally found the one you’d been dreaming about at…Z Gallerie.

Or the time when you need that special something for the final touch of your living room. You can’t put your finger on it but you’ll know it when you see it, so you shop (without any luck) at every Homegoods and TJ Maxx and Target and trinket store where these such things are affordable and then you get the Pottery Barn catalogue and there it is, the wall hanging you’ve been looking for, on page 32.

And, my favorite, when you decide to buy a few new tops because you’re tired of wearing things you’re not comfortable in (i.e. trigger clothing) so you head to the mall and think, I’ll just stop in and peek at White House Black Market.

Hint: there is no “stopping in and peeking” at WHBM. You’ll try on a shirt (full-price) that will instantly (1) slim you (2) make your boobs look amazing and (3) perform magic in front of your eyes. Why can’t tanks from Old Navy do that?

I loved this pie. I loved it so much that I had to give it away…missing a slice. Or two.

This cheesecake pie has everything I love in it.

1. An Oreo crust. That’s my favorite kind. You can make your own (recipe below) but I won’t judge you if you use the kind from the grocery store. I wanted to do that and I went all the way to the store…and they were out of Oreo crusts. I guess those are popular.

2. A peanut butter cookie dough layer. It’s eggless (of course). Just like a peanut butter cookie but without the egg and leavening. It’s the best part of the cookie, if you ask me.

3. A no-bake cheesecake layer. In fact, the whole pie is no-bake. I’m just getting you primed for no-bake summer.

Top all that with some fresh whipped cream (or Cool Whip) and you have a layered pie that blows your mind.

Not unlike all the things at Pottery Barn, Z Gallerie, and White House Black Market.

Cheesecake

Garnish

Directions:

Make the crust in a 9" pie plate using this recipe. Chill until next step. Or, forego making your own and use a store-bought Oreo or Graham Cracker crust.

Make the cookie dough: mix melted butter and peanut butter in large bowl with a hand mixer. Beat in sugars, vanilla, and milk. Slowly mix in flour. Place 2 tablespoons of cookie dough in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Press remaining cookie dough into the prepared crust. Do this carefully - you don’t want to wreck the crust! Place back in the refrigerator.

Make the cheesecake layer: wipe out bowl and wipe off mixer beaters. Beat cream cheese with hand mixer until smooth. Mix in sugar and vanilla. Spread carefully on top of cookie dough in prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Why have I never been to White House Black Market?! Slimming, awesome boobs and general amazingness! I am in
I just won’t tell my husband.
Or, better yet, (since I should be honest with him) I’ll make this FREAKING AWESOME pie, get him into a food coma and then tell him! PERFECT

Oh man I totally agree with you! We just moved into our first house this past summer and every time I find exactly what I want it’s at one of those really expensive boutique stores! The cutest things are always so expensive! This is like the best pie ever – cookie dough cheesecake and peanut butter all in one?! Plus is beautiful! You always make the prettiest pies 🙂 Pinned!

I so love this! I can just imagine how yummy the peanut butter cookie dough is with the cheesecake – I wish you’d given it away to me 🙂 And oh Z Gallery! If I had the money, I’d just move that whole place into our house.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I really wish I never found your site. I could easily spend 25 hours a day reading your posts, drooling over your pictures and making a mental note of your recipes. Thanks for ruining my days and making them awesome at the same time.

Wow!! I want to go make this pie right this second yet want to pretend I never say this because I know I will have no self control with it!!! Not only is it my favorite thing in the whole world-PIE!- but it contains some of my other most favorite things-peanut butter AND cheesecake! This looks to die for!

I totally agree that when you find something you really like it ends up costing way more than you want to spend. It can be frustrating at times. Love the cheesecake/pie recipe!. Looks amazing and has all the best parts of desserts. Thanks for the recipe!! Pinned 🙂

Totally agree, I can never just “stop in and peek” at WHBM and the lovely ladies that work there always end up putting a super cute outfit together or pair a dress I am trying on with a gorgeous necklace and magically you fall in love with how you look and you forget about the price! 😉 AND this pie is AMAZING…all my favorite things in one delicious cheesecake! Pinned 🙂

Dorothy, you are SO full of brilliant ideas!! Oreos, PB, cheesecake, no-bake… With how dry it’s been, this summer is definitely going to be another hot one. Totally worth prepping early. I really hope you bought that top, even if it was a little pricey — cute clothes automatically make everything 1000x better!

Hi! I’m super excited to try this out today! I’ve recently discovered this blog, and can’t wait to try all the recipes on here! I was wondering if powered sugar will work instead of granulated sugar? (I would just buy granulated sugar, but I’m moving really soon so it doesn’t really make sense). Thanks!!
